Had a dream last night that my wife accidentally unplugged my cloner and my cuts dried out. I went to check on it and the water pump had crapped out. Crazy. I think it was only a couple of hours since only 2 of them from the far corner dried out.

What size pump are u running for how many plants? I'm a little worried that the 1/2HP pump I just got may not be enough.
Good luck with the upgrade digger! I'll try to post up as much of the setup as I can to help others.

It's a vivosun pump advertised as 800 gallons per hour. I highly doubt that because the pump is the exact same size as the active aqua pump thats 390G/Hr. I need it to irrigate 8 plants. I believe my old configuration was hindering the pump. I had the water traveling too far in the 1/4 supply line. I took that apart, increased the size of the supply pvc from 1/2 to 3/4 and ran that into the middle of the tent. Now the manifold sits at the end of that line an it's 2 feet at the most to a plant vs 7ft. I should have it up and running today, so I'll see how it goes

New clones transplanted into cups yesterday...Purple Punch and Dosidos #55

Ended up with 53 out of 54 cuts rooted despite the pump blowout...for a success rate of 98%+. The Purple Punch seems like a relatively heavy feeder which is strange for purples ime. Can't wait to get things rolling. The electrician is coming on Friday and my new Blueridge 3 ton mini split should be here next week. I'm excited.

Nice job buddy. I'm back to 95% plus on clones I don't know why the last run was so bad. Aloha DB

I think that pump will work great especially if your going to water 1 tray at a time. My cheap pump will do two 8 site octobubblers at once but not as strong as I would like.

Hey buddy I just notice you got the same controller as me but that one only does 4 sites so you might want to return depending how your going to setup and if you want to expand later on.
Also I would reccomend getting one that can connect to your WiFi and be controlled by your phone.

Hey variety thanks again for the advice. When it says it controls 4 zones I thought that just meant 4 seperate timers. I don't think I will need anymore if thats the case but I'm not really clear on that. I only have the 2 flow control valves so I thought that would be 2 zones. I plan on running no more than 2 strains per run at either 48 or 54 plants total (8 or 9 plants per light). My pump is 960 GPH which gives it a max output of 16 gallons per minute. I guess I gotta figure out how many GPM I need when my girls are full size. What GPM are you running?

The 4 zones mean it can control 4 valves. From there you can have the water come on 12 times a day. As far as how many gallons per minute ya need is where my expertise ends lol. It depends on how far the water travels and how many elbows or T’s you run through. My pump says it’s only 3.3 gallons per minute and I pushing 2 octobubblers at that rate but I wish it were a bit stronger. So if your at 12 gpm you should be fine doing 3 or 4 octobubblers per zone if need be but that needs to be taken with a grain of salt because I don’t know how to calculate pressure loss.
And if I were you I would just do 8 plants per light since that’s how many lines an octobubblers does.

Been crazy busy getting my new 6kw basement setup...got a 3 ton blueridge mini split installed a couple weeks ago and just finished Lightproofing the garage door. Gotta grab some boards to hang the lights (I'm terrible at finding those ceiling joists) and I should be up and running in a few days. Purple Punch and Dosidos #55 will be the first round down there.
Haven't had much time for pics but heres a shot of my pre-98 Bubba mom bush
Gonna start a new thread for the new room, stay tuned
Take care and stay safe

Looking forward to it buddy! So you went with a mini spilt, I think that was a great idea as I haven’t seen too many in tube out tube ac’s being used that you were looking at. Bubba looks good, how’s the dosidos?
